Registration

Covid-19 announcement

The Swiss Federal Council has lifted all of its pandemic-related measures and restrictions since April 1st, 2022. In particular, a COVID-19 certificate will not be needed to attend the symposium, and wearing a mask will not be mandatory inside the various venues.

Participants can choose to wear a mask as they see fit, and we recommend that persons at risk do so, but we wish to inform all attendees that most of the Swiss residents will probably not be wearing one.

Applications for the meeting must be submitted by April 30th, 2022

Please apply as early as possible, because some events of the meeting or the conference itself might be oversubscribed before the deadline.

Payment of the registration fee will be required after successful application.

Thank you for your understanding and participation,
The Organising Committee
